Chapter 10 Special Features
Off-Hook Voice Announcements
You can make an announcement (OHVA call) through the handset or speaker of a
phone that is currently busy on a call. This feature is useful when you have an
urgent message to deliver. You must have a programmed [OHVA] button to do
this. OHVA calls cannot be made to phones in DND mode or which have an
OHVA block set (see below). The OHVA feature works with intercom and
transferred calls.
To make an OHVA call:
1. Dial the extension number or press the [DSS] button.
2. When you hear busy tone, press the [OHVA] button
or select the OHVA option from the LCD panel using
the soft button.
3. Make your announcement after the confirmation tone.
4. Finish the call by replacing the handset, or pressing
the [Speaker] button.
When making an OHVA to a nearby station, use the handset to avoid an echo.
